The rain, thunder, and lightening earlier made me think of my little 4'7" Great-Grandma Mary. She was more afraid of a thunderstorm than anything in this world! She would close all the blinds, unplug everything, get her switch in hand, and then make all of the grands sit on the floor in a cricle... DARING us to move or speak a single word! LOL! I'm so glad that I am not afraid of thunderstorms. In fact, when I'm at home during a thunderstorm the only reason I'm compelled to be quiet is because I feel the Spirit moving. Today, during the storm I felt within me that a shift was taking place in the heavenlies. I believe God is showering down his blessings in a torrent of storms that will usher in His presence like never before. All I can say is turn your umbrella upside down and receive it. Selah.Study Nugget: I Kings 18: 41-46

When we know for ourselves that God is indeed a GOOD God, we ought to be caught OFTEN lifting up the name of Jesus with the fruit of our LIPS & joining in with the songstress, Regina Bell, who sings “God is Good.” He made a way, and then He put food on my table, then He put shoes on my feet, so He could guide my every foot step, Jesus saved my soul, and then He brought me out of darkness. God is good. He healed my every sickness and with no money in my pocket; Jesus still made a way... out of NO WAY. Now I ask you… “Ain’t God Good?!”

"Jesus." There is no other name like the name of Jesus. He's Sovereign and over all. Let's make no mistake about it... His perfect will shall be done on earth as it also is in heaven. Let's refuse to be confused about His ability to make something out of nothing and create an absolute masterpiece right before our very eyes. Selah.Breath Prayer: "Lord, thank You for being Sovereign."

Watch out for the wind & hold onto your hats! There is now blowing upon the earth a strong east wind that is parting obstacles for the people of God just as it did for Moses at the Red Sea Crossing. The waters won't overtake us; rather they are dividing on our behalf. So beloved, "Do not be afraid. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today." And guess what? The day ain't over... it's only 11:27 pm. Selah. Study Nuggets: Exodus 14, Acts 2

Our flesh doesn't know what to do with the pain so in Psalm 46:10 He says to us, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” People are losing loved ones in various ways and regardless of the cause of death, it just hurts. If my friend hurts, I hurt. We're all in this together and in times of great sorrow and distress the primary comfort is in knowing that if God is our Father, He's right there in the pain with us. My prayer now is that the healing oil of God would saturate and rest upon His people, our families, and our communities. Selah.
